Plant Sci., Sheffield Univ., Western Bank, Sheffield S10 2TN, UK; karl.evans@sheffield.ac.uk) Birds from England and Switzerland probably winter in different areas -- based on isotopes measured from collected feathers. Swiss birds more reliant on woodland areas, English ones on grassland. Liechti F., Peter D. & Kamenda-Zehnder S. 2003. Nocturnal bird migration in Mauretania -- first records. J. Orn. 144: 445-450 (Swiss Orn. Isnst., CH6204 Sempach, Switzerland; felix.liechti@vogelwarte.ch) Passive infrared device used at 9 sites for 20 nights on southern edge of western Sahara.

Migration routes of Steppe Eagles between Asia and Africa: a study by means of satellite telemetry. Condor 105: 219-227 (World Working Group on Birds of Prey, Wangenheimstr. 32, D-14192 Berlin, Germany; wwgbp@aol.com) 15 Aquila nipalensis trapped in Saudi Arabia and 1 in South Africa. Of former 7 wintered in Arabia, 6 in NE Africa. All returned in spring via Egypt, Eilat, Israel, ie a loop migration probably due to winds. Ottosson U., Bairlein F. & Hjort C. 2002. Migration patterns of Palaearctic Acrocephalus and Sylvia warblers in north-eastern Nigeria. Die Vogelwarte 41: 249-262 (Ottenby Bird. Obs., PL 11500, SE-38065 Degerhamn, Sweden; ottosson@village.uunet.lu) 6 species trapped at Lake Chad in numbers OK for analysis. In staging area in spring and compared to 1960s suggest that Common Whitethroat Sylvia communis may have moved winter range southwards. Prinzinger R., Haubitz B., Eichhorn G & Nothwang U. 2003. Comparative heart mass in Blue-naped Mousebirds (Urocolius macrourus) and Speckled Mousebirds (Colius striatus). Ostrich 74: 139-140 (Zool. Inst., Dept. Metab. Physiol., Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Univ., POB 111932, D-60054 Frankfurt, Germany; prinzinger@zoology.uni-frankfurt.de) Blue-naped has higher relative weight showing it is better adapted for flying and hence in more open country. Rappole J.H. & Jones P. 2003. Evolution of Old and New World migration systems. Ardea 90: 525-537 (Smithsonian Cons. Res. Cent., 1500 Remount Rd, Front Royal, Virginia 22630, USA; jrappole@cre.si.edu) Many migrants use stable resources and show site fidelity within and between winters so they are not just itinerants. Most evidence suggests that migrants are mainly derived from tropical species emphasising importance of non-breeding season. Lack of forest bird species in Africa due to lack of forest in North Africa. Rguibi-Idrissi H., Julliard R. & Bairlein F. 2003. Variation in the stopover duration of Reed Warblers Acrocephalus scirpaceus in Morocco: effects of season, age and site. Ibis 145: 650-656 (RJ at Cent. Rech. Biol. des Pop. d'Oiseaux, Mus. Natl. Hist. Nat., 55 rue Buffon, 75005, Paris, France; julliard@mnhn.fr) Juveniles stopped longer than adults, longer at Atlantic site than Mediterranean one and longer in autumn than spring. No clear relation between stopover time and mass gain so rate of mass gain is not the only reason for stopovers. Salewski V., Altwegg R., Ba A., Liechti F. & Peter D. 2002. Body mass and fat scores of Palaearctic migrants at the southern edge of the Sahara desert in autumn. Die Vogelwarte 41: 291-294 (Swiss Orn. Inst., CH-6204 Sempach, Switzerland) Many exhausted migrants arrive. Some die but more are able to recuperate and carry on. Salewski V., Falk K.H., Bairlein F. & Leisler B. 2003.

Vogelforschung, An der Vogelwarte 21, 26836 Wilhelmshaven, Germany; volker.salewski@ifv.terramare.de) Pied Flycatcher Ficedula hypoleuca and Willow Warbler Phylloscopus trochilus studied in patchy landscape. Occurred most in habitat with most pronounced seasonal change. Potential competition with Afrotropical species low. Salewski V., Falk K.H., Bairlein F. & Leisler B. 2003. Numbers, body mass and fat scores of three Palearctic migrants at a constant effort mist-netting site in Ivory Coast, West Africa. Ardea 90: 479-487 (Prinz-Rupprecht-Str. 34, 93053 Regensburg, Germany) Willow Warbler Phylloscopus trochilus, Melodious Warbler Hippolais polyglotta and Pied Flycatcher Ficedula hypoleuca over 4 winters. Care needed with phenology data due to habitat distribution. Body mass and fat scores higher later in winter but no evidence that their site is an important fattening area. Salewski V., Jones P. & Vickery J. 2002. Niche partitioning between immigrant Palearctic Willow Warblers Phylloscopus trochilus and resident Afrotropical warblers in three woodland habitats in Zimbabwe. J. Avian Sci. 2: 207-216 (volker.salewski@biologie.uni-regensburg.de) Compared to Burnt-necked Eremomela usticollis and Green-capped Eremomela E. scotops in acacia, miombo and mopane woodland. Willow Warblers had higher habitat and foraging diversity, latter especially mopane where eremomelas absent. Shamoun-Baranes J. & 6 other authors 2003. The effect of wind, season and latitude on the migration speed of White Storks Ciconia ciconia, along the eastern migration route. J. Avian Biol. 34: 97-104 (Dept. Zool., Fac. Life Sci., Tel Aviv Univ., Tel Aviv 69978, Israel; shamoun@post.tau.ac.il) Went faster and had shorter migration season in autumn than spring. Faster in Africa and Middle East than Europe in autumn and in Africa in spring. Tailwind and latitude significant for daily speed.
